Grow Food Not Lawns!

Fire up the barbecue because we've got more zucchini than we know what to do with!

Using friendship-based community organizing and principles of gift economies and mutual aid, Food Not Lawns has been turning yards into gardens and neighborhoods into communities since 1999.

Collectively, we've got THOUSANDS of examples of beautiful, lush, and beneficial organic community gardens that started out as toxic, wasteful lawns.

We're a friendly lot, down to earth and willing to get dirty.We organize local seed swaps, garden work parties, study groups, and all sorts of grassroots opportunities to make friends while learning more about how growing food in the front yard can improve your home, your community, and your life.

We are the original collective, an International network run by the founders of the Food Not Lawns movement. Hop on our email list and we'll keep you in the loop about upcoming programs, events, and opportunities!
